Did You Know? Windows RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a major source of hacking attacks.

I expect you have probably already been flooded with numerous notifications and solicitations focused on the rapidly evolving situation we are all facing – and how to best continue working under these crazy circumstances.

I found something that I want to share with you that can be remarkably helpful right now and is something I will continue to strongly recommend even when everything is “back to normal.”

Remote Desktop RDP Security Risks – Did You Know?

Most small to medium size companies do not realize that security flaws and incorrect configurations can make Windows RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) vulnerable to the hackers.

RDP Security Problem

Although Windows RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a powerful tool that allows remote access by default it requires an open network port, or the establishment of a virtual private network (VPN). By opening a network port there is, in essence, a door on the public Internet to your internal network that can and will be found by hackers who then attempt to “knock on that door” (by running a brute force attack) as many times as it takes to get through. A VPN removes the possibility of a brute force attack, but introduces another problem: lateral transfer of ransomware. Your main office network may be secure, but by allowing VPN connections to it from remote computers you are allowing whatever is on those remote machines an open tunnel back to your corporate network. Ransomware (where a hacker encrypts your data and then demands payment to restore it) is one of the most prevalent forms of cyber attacks and if your remote workers’ PCs are infected with this type of malware, then it can traverse a VPN connection back to your office network and encrypt data there.

It is useful for individual users and organizations that connect to multiple RDP Remote Desktop hosts in different data centers; or in the cloud.
